ASOS Haul: November Additions

It's just my luck that I do a huge haul on ASOS and THEN they give us all a big discount code - knew I should've waited for Black Friday but hey, I kept these few bits anyway from my recent order so thought I would collate it all into a haul for you...

I feel like the ASOS Reclaimed Vintage section often gets overlooked so I made an effort to take a look at what it had going on. While the pieces are sometimes a little more expensive the quality is great and you're getting a unique(ish) bit of clothing. This floral top is something I can wear throughout the year - it's super thin so great for spring and summer but also I really nice layering piece for now. I really love the tie up sleeve detailing, high neckline and overall floral print!

This kind of shoe has been most popular with high end Gucci and high street Topshop so it wasn't surprising that everyone else was trying to get in on the loafer action as well. I got these in a size 8 (i go between 7 and 8 depending on the shop and shoe type) and, even though they complete killed my feet the first and second time I wore them, I'm persevering. They're great if you want to try the androgynous look and are looking for a simple flat shoe to wear with trousers or jeans.

And when I say super soft, I really mean it - this jumper has it all going on for me, I love the cropped length, the colour and most of all just how SOFT IT IS! The sleeves are really long which means (for lanky limbs me) it's a jumper that actually fits me perfectly all over. I've already worn this loads as the temperature has been ever decreasing at the moment, wearing it with skinny jeans or high waisted skirts and tights.

This top is going to be a bit like marmite I feel, the colour is an absolute winner and will be for most people but the frill detailing isn't going to be to everyone's taste. For me, this one had to go back but that doesn't mean I don't love it! The frill detailing was just a bit too much for a top-heavy gal like me and while I do love a good peplum top it did me no favours. But, the velvet material and gorgeous colour made me ummmm and ahhhhh about it for too long a time.

OH MY GOD these are amazing! Everything about them I absolutely love - that metallic colour, that perfect length (they're from the Tall section) and that fabulous fit on my waist. As they have an elastic waistband I opted for my smaller size (size 10) and they fit ridiculously well, I'm super excited to wear these over winter and Christmas get-togethers.

Why yes, I bought another pyjama top because the many I already have hanging in my wardrobe just aren't enough! This one is slinky soft and quite thing so ensure you're wrapped up when heading out to the winter cold. The main thing that drew me to this one was the colour scheme, I'm really loving cold colours at the moment and what's colder than white and grey? It also gives it a crispness and adds interest to an otherwise boring jean outfit.

Oversized is my thing at the moment, covering up the winter food baby is an absolute necessity and shirts like this do it perfectly. I have a couple already stashed away for winter but I wanted, again, a colder colour for me to wear simply with jeans and boots layering up with a thick coat, hat and scarf. ASOS do this shirt in a variety of colours so you'll find just the one for you and your skin tone (I'm currently eyeing up the khaki one).

And finally I'm trying out the hot new jeans trend - the simple dipped hem! It's great to wear with loafers (yup, those ones) or trainers but be warned your ankles will freeze to death if you wear them outside for too long. I also love the colour of these jeans, it's a blue wash that I tend to go for again and again as I think it suits most skin tones and definitely mine!
